Winnebago

The Winnebago, also known as the Ho-Chunk, are a Native American people native to Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. In 1634, the Winnebago first made contact with French fur traders, and they later moved from their homelands around Green Bay to the south in reaction to the influx of the Ojibwe people. In 1827, the United States government defeated the tribe in the Winnebago War, and some Winnebago continued resistance in the Black Hawk War of 1832, which led to the Winnebago being relocated to the American West.
